| Summary: | How do texts of the Old Testament play their role in the composition of the New Testament writings? It may so happen that the concepts of the Old Testament influenced the author of a particular New Testament book without him being aware of it. This article takes up the case of ‘new covenant’ theme as contained in Jer. 31:31-34 and 2 Cor. 3:6. We assume Jeremian phrase is a source of Paul’s idea of the ‘new covenant.’ However, Paul might not have intended to use this phrase in a completely different understanding or with the intention of replacing the old with the new. |
